Time Zone Management for Remote Teams

It’s not a secret that today people can work remotely and connect with each other across different time zones. However, the concept of time zones didn’t exist until the 19th century. In 1884, during the International Meridian Conference, the Greenwich Meridian of the UK became the prime meridian for time zone measurement, and the international standard time system was adopted.
